The Navel-Why 1t Does Not Bear

The Navel-Why 1t Does Not Bear.
The Navel variety OF oranges is attract.
ing great deal of attention in Florida
and elsewhere. Mr.. A. H. Manville, in
his paper read at the DeFuniak Institute
on March s, and speaking OF marked va
rieties of oranges, said:
GAS will be seen by the published Ia
bles, the Washington Navel scored the
highest number of points at Orlando,
reaching "a. 1t is greatly superior to the
old Parsons Navel, and finer even than
the Double Imperial. which ranks next
to it among our NaveIs. 1t only scored
eight In sweetness and vinous quality,
which was low for an orange other wise
so superior. But this is chsrac teristic of
the Navels, they excel in tenderness and
juiciness, but lack sweetness and flavor.
In fact. this is a popularity of many i'm
ported sorts they excel in Juiclness, ten
derness and seedlessness, but lack the
sweetness and sprightly, heightened, racy,
Vinous flavor which characteriZes our
native Florida fruit. The great objection
TO the Navel Is its shy bearing; the W ash
ington is an improvement ON the vare-
ties previously grown here in this par
ticular. But whether IL possesses such
persistent proliticness as will commend
1t for general culture remains to be seen.
"The editor of the Agriculturist thinks
the Navel Is shy bearer because of de-
ticiency of pollen In the flower. He says:
by taxing an ordinary reading glass and
examining the stigma of the blossoms on
trees close to other varieties in bloom,
few will be noticed to have little yellow
spots on them, which show that a bee or
other insect has been there and car
ried pollen from the neighboring
trees. These will hold and produce fruit.
Take blossom OF another variety and
hold it alongside that OF the Navel and
the contrast will be remarkable. The
anthers OF one will be yellow, with the
formulating dust and the stigma partly
or wholly covered with it; while the other
will be of creamy color. 1t would be
well tor those who have Navel trees to
bud them with some variety that bios
sons at the same time, and let from one
third TO one-half of the tree go to this
variety, which would furnish IN due time
pollen TO fertilize the Navel blossoms and
thus produce more Navel fruit on one
half the tree than is now raised on the

lime is In combined condition 1t does
not injure manure when the mari is used
in the compost heap. Ii mixed with ma
nure the decomposition of the latter rem
ders the ingredients Of the mari soluble
and mutual benefit is received by both
substances. II kaintU be also added there
Will be no loss OF volatile matter in any
form, as the ka init, being a sulphate, is
Ieasily decomposed by the rotting OF the
manure, the potash uniting with the car
bonic acid generated, while suiphate of
ammonia is found in the heap. If soap
suds be used to keep the compost damp
the fat acids formed will also assist in
preventing loss and the heap will be COM
posed OF nearly all the elements of plant
food.
Mari NAV also be used separately. For
potatoes, broadcast manure over the
ground and pillow 1t under. Mark out the
rows three feet apart and scatter mari
along the row. Cut the potatoes to two
eyes, drop the pieces IA inches paart and
use 2OO-pound bag OF superphosphate in
the rows for two acres, in order to give
the plants an early start, and the mari
and manure will supply food later during
growth. Ridge the potatoes and when
well up harrow the rows level, and If the
crop be then we'll worked the yield will
be highly satisfactory.
For corn a shOvellul OF mari to every
four hills at time of planting is excellent.
1t is claimed by those who have used
mari on corn that it absorbs moisture,
and in that respect assists in keeping the
crop in green, healthy condition. With
good cultivation the mari will prove very
beneficial, but it would be well TO use
some kind OF artificial fertilizer in the
beginning. Grass, for permanent pas
ture, is largely benefited by mari, and on
light, sandy soils, where it is difficult to
grow hay, mari b as enabled some farmers
to secure annual crops of grass, while for
fruit trees and vines it is also largely
used with profit.

must not be overlooked that the best re-
suits have been obtained when 1t is fed in
connection with other food. II aids di-
gestion and promotes health because 1t
provides succulent material, but, being
bulky, ground grain should be used also
as part of the ration.
A farmer says that after % years expe-

Is indicated by the superior thrift and
productiVeness of those occupying the
outer rows, whose roots have larger
surface OF soil, and tops more air and
sunlight.
In estimating the value OF manure it
must not be overlooked that wafer is a
prominent ingredient. In 80 tons Of or
binary barnyard manure there are $4,000
pounds OF water, 250 pounds phosphOric

II is claimed that the flesh OF hogs that
are allowed to find their food by hunting
ncorns and roots in the forests is su perior
to that OF the best fed hogs kept in pens.
Cut away all the suckers from the trees
and yet tie orchard in shape. There is
nothing so unsightly as an orchard con-
tanning suckers around the base of each
tree.
A distance OF 80 feet apart each way is
suItable for apple trees and Is feet each
way for peach trees. The young trees
should be kept well trimmed and given
good cultivation.
1t is now generally admitted that no
road can be perfect that is not well un-

specting the picking and packing OF straw.
berries. 1t is better, it seems, never to
pick berries wet with either rain or dew.
Pick with half inch of stem by pinching
off with thumb and finger. Lay carefully
in the box. Do not drop or throw, nor
handle the berry. Put the filed boxes
Immediately in the shade. Keep the
picked berries out of the sun. In an airy
place in the shade pour the berries out
gently on a cloth, or a newspaper is bet
ter. Take out all the dead-ripe berries
the culls and everything In any way faulty
or damaged. Transfer to another paper
for expressing only the sound. solid, good
sized berries; of these pick out the
choicest tor "facing" on top. Fill care
fully into the quart cups, not quite even
full; then tap the cup lightly to settle the
berries; then use the choice ''facing"
berries to fill heaping full, halt inch
above the brim in the middle. The berries
when packed should not be ripe enough
for immediate use, nor should they be
green; they must be mature as to growth
and just fairly turned red. A full COL
ored OZARK red berry is too aged to carry
so far; pick 1t day or so earlier, 30 that
will day or so after shipment arrive
